Holiday tips for single mothers

A vacation is the perfect opportunity to spend a lot of quality time with children. What more fun than enjoying the beautiful weather, beach and fun activities for a week or two! The perfect way to relax and de-stress. But as a single parent, you may be hesitant. Here are some tips for single parent travel to make the vacation more fun for you and your kids.

Plan with your kids!
The best way to get your child excited about a vacation is to involve them in the planning process. You could look at vacation brochures and travel websites to make them feel more involved and excited about the trip. This way you can also see what they think about certain locations and activities.

Think of the kids club!
Going on holiday with your child is certainly fun, but sometimes you just need a little time for yourself. It is difficult to entertain a child all day, but luckily there are many resorts or apartment complexes with a kids club! In this way, children make new friends and can play in a safe, supervised area. This also gives you the opportunity to read quietly or relax in the sun.

After you land…
Don't be afraid to ask the vacation hostess things that are bothering you or if you are unsure about something when you arrive at your destination. It is also worth getting up early and going to the welcome meeting, which usually takes place at the accommodation on the first or second morning. Here you get information about your stay, as well as activities and places to explore nearby.

Consider all-inclusive
Looking for the ultimate stress-free stay? Then you could consider an all-inclusive package. Once you get there, you can sit back, relax and enjoy yourself, knowing you've already paid for everything.
